Style Meets Comfort with Skechers Off-Court Offerings
Published
After tearing it up on the court, athletes want nothing more than comfort. Sometimes that means having to sacrifice style, but not when it comes to Skechers. The Los Angeles-based footwear giant has a wide range of silhouettes for off-the-court wear that star athletes like Rickea Jackson, OG Anunoby, Jackie Young, and Julius Randle all swear by.
Julius Randle - Skechers AERO Burst
Entering his 12th NBA season, Julius Randle was one of the first NBA athletes to join team Skechers when the brand entered the performance basketball market in 2023. Since then, he’s been loving the off-court offerings from the brand. In particular, he’s taken a liking to the Skechers AERO Burst Slip-ins™, a well-cushioned running shoe that features the brand’s exclusive Slip-ins® technology. The model also comes with a maximized Hyper Burst Ice™ midsole cushioning for lightweight responsiveness and a carbon-infused H-plate for added propulsion and energy return. Randle appreciates the AERO Burst Slip-ins™ for their convenience and versatility, making them a reliable choice for his busy lifestyle as a family man and frequent traveler. The shoe also doubles as a great workout companion on days he’s training and gearing up for the upcoming season.
Rickea Jackson - Skechers Hotshot
While she’s constantly spotted rocking the SKX Full-Court Press (she even has a player-exclusive Beauty & the Beast colorway), Rickea Jackson likes to keep things lowkey off the court. One of her go-to models from Skechers for casual wear is the Hotshot, a low-top suede silhouette with a gum sole unit. A large Skechers “S swan” logo is found on the midfoot, while the lateral heel spells out the brand’s name in gold foil. Internally, the sneaker features a cushioned Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole for added comfort. Available in several modern colorways, the Skechers Hotshot is the perfect silhouette for Rickea’s on-the-go lifestyle.
OG Anunoby - Skechers S-1992
OG Anunoby is the newest addition to Skechers’ elite NBA roster, and he’s already found his favorite off-court silhouette from the brand. The Skechers S-1992 perfectly blends comfort with a nostalgic, retro design, making it a standout addition to any sneaker rotation. Complete with a chenille Skechers ‘S’ logo and available in a variety of sports-inspired colorways, this low-top silhouette features premium leather and rubber construction, along with Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles for added comfort. While Anunoby will be hitting the hardwood in the SKX NEXUS or SKX REIGN silhouettes this NBA season, the Skechers S-1992 is his go-to choice for off-court style.
Jackie Young - Skechers AERO Burst
Skechers welcomed Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young to their growing roster of WNBA players in July this year and she quickly made her mark with the brand debuting a player edition SKX NEXUS at WNBA All-Star Weekend. When she’s not taking the floor for one of the best teams in the WNBA, Jackie—like Julius Randle—favors the Skechers AERO Burst Slip-ins™ silhouette. A perfect match for Jackie’s active lifestyle, the performance runner comes with Hyper Burst Ice™ midsole cushioning, Skechers Arch Fit cushioning insole system, and a carbon-infused H-plate for energy return. The sneaker also features Skechers’ Slip-ins® technology for easy on-and-off wear. Whether she’s hitting the gym for a quick workout or getting on a plane, Jackie appreciates the ease and convenience of the Skechers AERO Burst Slip-ins™.
